I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum to post in! But I need some advice. (Warning, this is looooong)
I'm a part of a community forum that primarily deals in 'spam threads' and roleplaying. I've been on this forum for years off and on, and I've played original and tv\book\game characters.
there has been a lot of older members coming back to the site recently, and we've been happy to see them back. One guy, Riku (from Kingdom Hearts) came back and that inspired another member to play Sora, but they needed a Kairi. I had just finished playing the first and second games at the time Riku came back so I was interested, but didn't say anything until a week later so other people could have a chance at it if they wanted. So with the help of my best friend (who's an admin on the site and knows everyone) she helped me ask 'sora' and 'riku' if I could play kairi, since I'm really shy and I thought just asking them out of the blue was awkward. They said yes, and I started a thread where the three eventually all reunited again (explaining that would be a story in itself). During the rp (roleplay) I got a private message from Riku asking me a question, and after a few pm's back and forth he gave me his msn address and said "if you wanna talk, just message me there anytime. It's on my phone and I always have it around." I thought "sure, okay! It'd be fun to talk with another rper and we could discuss plot ideas and stuff or just talk maybe once in a while." So I added him and gave him my email address and we started talking maybe an hour or two once every few days. And then more hours every other day. And a week or so later it was most of the day every day. He was so interested about me and would ask me all sorts of questions like "what's your happiest childhood memory?" Or "if you could have your dream job, what would it be?" And quite a few times he would ask me if I had a boyfriend. lol
He would tell me little by little about his childhood, and would confide in me too. I helped him stay positive during hard times, and he kept me sane during my own hard times. In may I lost internet, and the days before the inevitable disconnection he was pretty upset but tried to keep positive. I reminded him I had libraries and coffee shops, and he emailed me every day, usually after work was over and he was exhausted so some would be just sleepy nonsense and a few sentences in italian (he's from italy) so I would use my trusty google translate to see what he said. Hehe.
After about a week I broke down and bought a cheap blackberry over ebay, and he helped me find a decent one for a good price. So now that I was finally mobile, we talk even MORE often xD
But I'm rambling. What I'm trying to say is...well, I'm in love with the guy, and this my first time being in actual love. I've had crushes, sure. But I'm 24 and never had a boyfriend (which he said once 'I just don't understand how a girl as amazing as you is single.') So this is extremely new and confusing to me. He's so kind and caring, funny...he'll go along with my stale jokes and terrible puns, and think it's the funniest thing ever. (I really don't know why, my sense of humour is groan worthy actually XD but I like it) and he's protective too. He's always asking me "are you home safe?" Or "you're at the lake. Is it safe there?" Etc. One time I asked him why he was wondering if I was safe out of curiosity and he replied "I just don't want anything bad happening to you." I thought it was so sweet
I want to tell him I love him, but I'm such a coward. I don't want to lose him, you know? Although my heart tells me that I wouldn't lose him, and I think he might love me too, as weird as that sounds. But I can't tell him now, he's on a business trip out of the country. At first he said he wouldn't be able to talk during the whole month he would be gone, but he said yesterday (the day he left) that he would try roaming. I protested against that because it's so expensive but he said "I'll manage. " so he's going to roam to send me emails and I'm happy about that, even though I feel a little guilty.
So, I don't know, what would you do if you were me? I want to tell him and I almost told him the day before he left when he told me a dream he had that day about saving me from a frozen pond and then it switched to us being in an old style elevator (like the ones in titanic, he described) and in his words: "Then we went to the elevator. The old time kind. We had our dreams and reality on these golden flat rectangle plates. You were dreaming to be some sort of research scientist and you held it in your hand. In my hand I had well, my job, my father's legacy, then I tossed it aside and said 'all I need is you'." I asked him what I said but after some silence I said "well, it doesn't matter what I said in the dream, because I feel the same way. I...I think I'm in love with you." After more silence I signed out and back in and he did too after a few minutes and said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out or anything, it was just a dream" our msn sucks sometimes and we won't receive messages from each other or one will suddenly appear offline. So that happened at the worst time possible and I said I wasn't freaked out and I said I hoped I said in the dream I felt the same way but didn't say I loved him because I chickened out.
I need to stop rambling. I dunno, what do you guys think of this? It's been only a day since he left and I miss hi terribly. I got an email saying that he got there safe, so I'm happy about that. But yeah, any thoughts and advice would be amazing because I'm so new to this and my friends don't really understand internet relationships.
Oh wow, this is really long. I'm sorry!
